Is the profit shown in the profit calculator guaranteed?
The profits shown in the calculator are based upon formulas applied to the data you entered.  There is a guaranteed profit on every transaction with Synergy Dental Laboratories.  The amount of your total profit is a function of your investment level and the volume of business you do with Synergy Dental Lab.

How does Synergy Dental Lab generate a profit, am I getting cheap lab work?
We have negotiated fee reductions with quality labs, in exchange for providing the lab with a steady supply of clients.  The labs have agreed to this because they are saving on marketing and billing expenses.  All doctors doing business with Synergy Dental Labs are set up so their accounts are on “auto-pay”, either via electronic transfer or a credit card.

How does Synergy Dental Lab select their partner lab?
The labs that comprise our consortium have to meet certain criteria and undergo a site visit.  All labs have:

• been in operation a minimum of 10 years;

• offer a broad spectrum of services;

• employ a minimum of 15 technicians;

• have a commitment to continuing education for their technicians;

• offer a maximum turn around time of 14days.

We have affiliated with labs that are productive, profitable, and quality conscious. They are poised to serve the clients of Synergy Dental Lab with the same exceptional quality that their current client base has come to expect and enjoy.

Why can’t I contact the affiliate labs directly?
In negotiating these significant discounts with affiliate labs, Synergy Dental Laboratories had to sign confidentiality agreements with the labs.  This was to protect the affiliate lab from loosing their existing clients.  If the doctors using the affiliate labs learned that they could switch to Synergy, pay the same lab fee,  and save 10%-20% of their  lab bill in a tax sheltered vehicle…. the affiliate labs would be at financial risk.

If I invest and become an “owner”, what preferential treatment do I get?  Do I have a say in the daily operation of the lab?
The preferential treatment the Synergy Investors get is a financial one.  The day-to-day lab operations are already established to give every doctor quality, on time work and exemplary customer service.   Investors have no lab management responsibilities. 

Think of it as if you owned Microsoft stock.  Would you call up the programmers when you had a computer issue? Or, would you just enjoy the rise in your stock value and dividends?

How do I get started?
It is best to conduct a phone interview with one of our customer service representatives so that we can match your clinical needs and expectations with the right lab.  From there, we can walk you through the application process.

How do I become an investor?
Call or email us to receive the unlock code for the “Investor Resources” on the Resource page of our website.  Once you have these documents, you are about 40 minutes away from “owning your own lab”.

When profits go into my IRA, who controls those funds?
As your laboratory ownership profits are deposited into your self directed IRA, they are totally under your control.  Working with the broker, you can now invest those funds as you feel best (stocks, mutual funds, etc.)  By investing in Synergy Dental Labs, we provide a means for you to fund the IRA; you control the IRA.
